Laytown to Connolly Train Service

MANUTD99

Hi All,

Could anyone let me know if the train service Dundalk/Drogheda to Connolly is reliable and always on time.

According to Irish rail, if I get the 06.36 I would arrive in Connolly at 07.14. I start work at 8 am in Eastpoint Business Park. I'm just looking for feedback how on time this service is.

Short answer is yes, they are fairly reliable, and mostly on time.

Does it stop at Clontarf or howth junction or Malahide? Just asking in case you didnt know that Clontarf road is the stop to get off for Eastpoint and then the shuttle bus. Sorry if you already know that

The Dundalk/Drogheda commuter trains do not stop at Malahide or Clontarf Rd. Only the Dart does. It does however stop at Howth Junction. If the OP wants to use the shuttle from Clontarf Rd to get to East Point, their best bet would be to get off at Howth Junction & get the Dart there to Clontarf Rd.

Most of the Drogheda trains do stop in malahide the 6:36 ex Laytown is one That does arrives malahide at 7:06 you then have to wait till 7:30 dart arriving clontarf at 7:51. Do you would be better off getting the 6:53 ex Laytown leaving you only a 5 minute wait in malahide
But your best bet is to go to howth junction
arriving at 7:15 then get a dart arriving from howth at 7:24 to arrive at clontarf road at 7:36

OP I would take Kingshankly's advice - he drives the train!

Thanks all for the feedback.

Would it be safe to say the service would have over a 90% on time success

In or around that would be near 99% at that hour in the morning As its just before peak time
